Weekend 22 Feb-2026

It can’t always be Romanée St.Vivant – well, not for that many weeks, anyway 🙂

2017 William Fevre, Chablis
A satisfying ‘pop’ from the diam seal.
Starting reticent, but these aromas have a nice zesty citrus skin complexity – the dis/advantage of the diam instantly clear, it’s just a matter of perspective. Clean, pure and young, with only suggestions of mature notes despite being an ‘older’ wine. Wide, mineral, modestly juicy with an underlying delicious energy. Not the impact of its youth, but still a super wine – and this finish, I love it!
Rebuy – Yes

2012 David Clark, Côte de Nuits Villages
I still have a fair quantity of David’s wines in the cellar – this is not a special showing though. A fine, strong cork.
Lots of colour here – though not a young colour. Dark. Mineral, railway sleepers aromatic. Nicely mouth-filling with a silky cushion from the concentration – the flavour is fine and fading, though far from demonstrative. Subtly long with emphasis on the subtle. Half elegant, half leaving me asking for more – but there’s the nice purity of the vintage.
Rebuy – Maybe
